Summary/Abstract: The SEESAC Small Arms Curriculum Project was funded by the EC under the auspices of the EU 2PP from March through until November 2006, with the aim of investigating the need for curricula on small arms developing materials in cooperation with stakeholders and developing a plan with Ministries of Education to implement the curricula. However more in-depth study and discussion during the education consultancy raised doubts about the current concept of ‘small arms risk education’ for children. This further research strongly suggests that such risk education programmes should not be introduced into schools, as they lack educational validity and are not particularly effective.
